Did NHL Center Ice not get removed? The season ended Saturday, playoffs are on basic cable.

[Disclaimer] The definition of "soon" is based solely on DirecTV's interpretation of the word, and all similarities with dictionary definitions of the word "soon" are purely coincidental and should not be interpreted as a time frame that will come to pass within a reasonable amount of time.

Aren't they also simulcast on each team's RSN though (or is that only in-market since every game is on national TV now?)

None of the Canadian RSN's (that I am aware of) are available as RSN's on DirecTV. For Canadian vs Canadian team games, DirecTV will need the feeds from the NHL. NHL Center Ice is broadcast somewhere in the 700s, just like NBA, NFL, MLB etc.... was just wondering whether they have been removed is all, didn't see it in Sixto's reports.

1st column is the channel number
2nd column is the channel name, an '*' prior to the name designates a TEST channel
3rd column is FT for Full-Time, PT for Part-time, RM for Remapped from another channel
4th column is the Satellite, 5th column is the transponder number
6th column is 'slot' number with 10xx: active/online, 1700: offline, 0000: unassigned

TruTVHD was the 6th HD channel on a transponder ... it appears to be the same for E!.

I need to dig into this a little further, not sure if it's more (6 HD) into the same space or different/better technology now being used.

And I need to make 822 a normal automatic look, it's just been years since I touched the code and my memory isn't what it used to be.

I haven't looked yet, but when there is six channels, any chance one of the six is an sd channel? Or do we think they may have started upgrading their equipment again some to fit in another channel n every transponder, meaning we can get quite a few more channels as is than has been calculated?

So then our available channels is probably back up in the 20s or more, based on how fast they make hardware/software changes, maybe... That'd be nice.. . Of course, that also means its all back to negotiations with channels and not space limitations.
